The code is mostly a copy-paste of Module::Install::Repository
ATTRIBUTES
• git_remote
This is the name of the remote to use for the public repository (if you use Git). By default,
unsurprisingly, to origin.
• github_http
Thisattributeisdeprecated. If the remote is a GitHub repository, list only the https url
(https://github.com/fayland/dist-zilla-plugin-repository) and not the actual clonable url
(git://github.com/fayland/dist-zilla-plugin-repository.git). This used to default to true, but as of
0.16 it defaults to false.
The CPAN Meta 2 spec defines separate keys for the clonable "url" and web front-end "web". The Meta
1 specs allowed only 1 URL. If you set "github_http" to true, the "url" key will be removed from the
v2 metadata, and the v1 metadata will then use the "web" key.
Instead of setting "github_http", you should use the MetaJSON plugin to include a v2 META.json file
with both URLs.
• repository
You can set this attribute if you want a specific repository instead of the plugin to auto-identify
your repository.
An example would be if you're releasing a module from your fork, and you don't want it to identify
your fork, so you can specify the repository explicitly.
In the Meta 2 spec, this is the "url" key.
• type
This should be the (lower-case) name of the most common program used to work with the repository,
e.g. git, svn, cvs, darcs, bzr or hg. It's normally determined automatically, but you can override
it.
• web
This is a URL pointing to a human-usable web front-end for the repository.
